New wheels!
Just ordered these from the ever helpful BM Autosport
 Can't hyperlink the picture for the lazy amongst you - they're 18" CSL reps, staggered fitment, identical size to the MV3s they'll be replacing so no loss of ride quality and guaranteed to fit  http://www.bmautosport.co.uk/showroo...h=51_23_122_32 They were supposed to be delivered today but I've had to come into work so I'll pick them up from the courier depot as soon as I can and get some pictures up

Look awesome! i wanted these but managed to get a set of genuine mv3 to replace my cracked ones so thought to keep it original.
Will transform the look with a grin on your face! |

I've seen a few people buying from them now. I've always been a bit "suspicious" on after market wheels, especially if its not from a "well known/ established" company like BBS, Hartge, AC Schitnzer etc.... But now with oem BMW wheels having a cracking issue, might look at some less "reputable" options. Newbie/ Idiot questions: Where are those wheels made? and do you get any warranty against cracking etc...

Presumably a year's warranty on them, but who knows? I've not seen a report of aftermarket wheels cracking... Quote:
if I can get all 8 in the car I'll have them done by midweek, if not I'll need a couple of trips to the tyre place.

How do 18inch CSL wheels look ?
I've seen loads of cars with 19s but not 18s. |

 There were a few 18" CSL reps with what looked like quite large centres and proportionally shorter spokes, which didn't look very good IMO. These look much better. Pics ASAP

Although 19's are bound to look better, the ride quality suffers too much (I've tried 225s previously). Sounds like a great price, I wonder what the quality is like? Hard to measure really objectively. I guess you'll be fitting non-RFTs so won't be testing out whether they crack? |

I think Ronal make the OEM MV3 wheels amongst others. They have a great reputation as a quality wheel manufacturer, I think it is just the suspension and tyre combination which overcomes the manufacturing tolerances.
I would think most people fitting aftermarket alloys are running non-RFTs |
